(1/6) > >>

muddyjames:
I am looking at buying some new tyres and dont know whether to go for AT's or MT's. I now AT's have better grip on road but MT's are beter of road. I am wanting to do mainly green laning and some quary days but most of the driving I do will be on the road. Also AT's are better on ice and snow so I have been told.
Anybody got any ideas on what I should get.
Love to hear your views as I am new to this off roading.

pritch:
If you're going to be doing most of your distance on the road, don't go for MTs.  Not if you happen to like your sanity, anyway; you'll find that a set of MTs will make the vehicle a much noisier place to be.  The handling of the vehicle also seems to suffer a bit, too.  Stuck to ATs, unless you're willing to swap tyres if you want to get muddy.

This guy sells on Ebay but now has his own web site,they seem well priced.As for what you should get I'd say AT's but they soon clogg up in the mud.

Hello

Just been there and replaced all 4 colway tyres after a blow out/punture on M1 - a fun experience and one that has put me off remoulds for life! :shock:

When I did the rounds to replace mine, every garage and tyre center I found would not touch remoulds - I know lots of people swear by them, and have never had a problem with them-  but the two tyre places that I used would not deal with them.

 AT's would be best - from what I've heard - if your going to use her on the road other than driving to and from 4x4 site

 I Replaced mine with a set off Marshals AT on back and General AT at front. Both in the 'buget' range but reckomended
Bought the pairs a month  apart from different garages - (had to save up big time) cost roughly £80 each.
They seem ok, she handles alot better than she did, and Im not half expecting another blow out! - which is nice.

Hope this Helps

Vam

Never beloeved in skimping on the things that hold you and yours to the road (or mud / rock etc.).

BFG All Terrains for me every time !
